I’m amazed at how intense the requirements to become a security guard actually are. Not only did I serve as a military policeman in the army for several years, obtain a secret security clearance, and get out with an honorable discharge… I have the ability to become a state police officer, but because of a misdemeanor theft back when I was 18, I can’t become a security guard? Something sure doesn’t seem logical there.
